Klopp agrees to become Liverpool manager

Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become the new Liverpool manager, according to Sky Sports.

The 48-year-old German, who led Borussia Dortmand to two Bundesliga titles in his seven years at the club, will fly to Merseyside on Thursday night.

The club's American owners, Fenway Sports Group, have acted swiftly after sacking Brendan Rodgers on Sunday following the 1-1 draw at Everton.
